Partying in L.A.

Yesterday we went to a party in the Consulate, hosted by Inocencio Arias and his wife. It was a wonderful evening, with 50 guests. We would like to thank the Consul General for his kindness, welcoming us into his own home (in the Hollywood Hills, no less, and with spectacular views). The only flaw was the two hours it took us to travel the 15 kilometers from Santa Monica to Hollywood! When we arrived at 8 o’clock the party was in full swing. We were pleasantly surprised to see the Consul’s wife and grandson helping with the canapés, while we played with his dog. We felt both flattered to be there, and very much at home. We met quite a few people, but most of all we caught up with various friends from the sector – clients, producers, artists and so on. It was also great to meet the L.A. delegation of ICEX and some of the local Spanish community. We took a few photos, before the evening drew to a close at around 11.

We are now just a few hours away from the big day – to tell you the truth, we are feeling more than a little nervous, and we still haven’t prepared our 30-second speech!
